Happy Belated birthday again Willem.  It seems like the box was worth the wait.  I hope it's big enough!

More than worth the wait!
I've spent quite some time yesterday to transfer everything in C1 and C2 from my playsets into this box. I managed in the end, and actually a tight fit hahaha

Which makes me think, do you have a list of what you are missing / hoping to find for the museum ?

Might be cool to help fill in the gaps if possible :)

Thank you! I'm getting to the point where i rely more and more on support from people to find some things, and who are kind and patient enough to collect a few things for me, before sending some things in 1 batch to me.
It makes it more a community effort, and i get to house, catalogue (and pay for) it all  ;D

In terms of what i'm missing; that list can be very long if we look at everything from all publishers ever. However, i'm thinking of trying to 'close off' 1 publisher at a time  :)
For HiG/German editions, the list of missing items is actually getting smaller, after a successful Spiel:
- C1 Expansion 3, 2nd edition (with the watermark on the top right)


- C1 The River II (boxed mini by HiG)


- C1 Mini 1 The Fliers (boxed mini by HiG)


- Die Stadt (preferably with the ribbon around it)


- Big Box 4


- Travel Edition


And i'm pretty sure this is just a promotional image, as i've never seen one ever, but there is the C2 1st edition in case anyone has ever seen it ;)


Apart from these, i believe i have everything HiG ever 'officially' released :)

Anyway, it’s easy to find it on the GeekMarket.

Several of these things might be easy finds, as I do see some come by often.
But I'm also looking for a good price, a good find overall.

That, and these months have been very intense with carcassonne, so just going with BGG prices is not optimal. Need to also keep the lights on in the Museum  ;)

Very nice spin-off. You can made one of fan expansion which join both - regular Carcassonne with Winter carcassonne :D Or just play together, doesn't matter on "season" on tile :D

Thank you! I'll eagerly await  ;D

In the meantime, this morning I got a long overdue delivery:


It didn't take too long from when it was posted, but it feels a bit silly i didn't have this one yet! The English versions are a bit harder to find, and can get quite expensive these days! With this one, that's 6 catapults done, and still 5 to go!

About that one, you think that the only existing one features the abbot and river on the top right corner right ?

Might be worth it to ask directly HiG :)

There are definitely 2 versions of the C2 base game in German, one that is like that but with the box mentioning the River and Abbot indeed, and the other has the red banner of Over 12 Million sold.
I've been looking for this one, but haven't seen actual pictures of it, and other collectors i've asked also haven't. So my guess is that it was a promotional image, but never actually released.
It's a bit similar to the original Winter Edition. The promotion images don't have a SdJ logo on it, but the released box does.

I have asked them, but they weren't sure and had to look it up. Haven't hear from it since. But i'll probably ask again  ;D

I got my Cundco order  :yellow-meeple:

Mists over Carcassonne, Ukraine tile, 4 maps (including Ukraine), the bets and the new bag  :D



Sadly the box has been squeezed by DHL (German post service) and the maps have suffered. Does anyone already experienced this ? Could you manage to flatten the maps again ?
